I Shaved My Head A Month Ago. Here's What I Experienced.

[max.b]

I shaved my head a month ago, right around the time I got banned (at my request).

Here's what I noticed.

1. People pay attention to me A LOT more. It's like going from Joe Sixpack to the guy wearing a spacesuit.

2. Women often try to groom in the brief moment from when they see me to when they think I see them. It's like a compulsion or something. I'm not a mind reader. Maybe they think I'm hot, maybe they subconsciously worry about their hair when they see a bald guy. But I noticed this a LOT more after I shaved my head. (I'm definitely no model BTW)

3. Guys often "protect their women" when they see me. It's kind of freaky and even insulting. For example, a guy and a girl walk towards me. I see that they notice me. The guy puts his arm around the girl. If this happened once, I would think nothing of it, but after a while you notice a pattern. But this doesn't happen too often.

Another thing I noticed is that buzzed hair hides the fact that it's thinning. Mine's thinning pretty bad on top, but if I buzz it at 0 guard, you can see the stubble, but you don't notice that it's thinner on top. I don't know why.

Anyways, I don't know if this is useful to others, but I'm sticking with my shaved/buzzed look. If anyone has any thoughts on the body language, I'd like to hear them. I won't post pics. I'm very privacy-conscious.

I actually think I look less "pretty" than almost all of these guys. The first guy's problem is that his eyebrows are almost missing. Mine are better than his (knocking on wood), but worse than all of the rest.

Also you might think the first guy's ugly (And even women might think that they think "bald is ugly").

But look at him, really. He shaved his head. He doesn't GAF. That's confident, badass, thuggish, attractive (one of these, or some combination of them).

Those with blue eyes will always look better bald.

Isn't the first guy given as an example of "ugly when bald"?

Beautyfullness is like symphonies, you must have all the players playing right notes.anything missing or deformed in person affects his appearance.as said above,you need all good things at same time to have an effect.
Unfortunately hairs are more noticeable than eyebrows or nose shape etc.
So having hair or not having hair is major factor in someone's personality cause it is very noticeable trait. I think you have all things good in your physique. So may be baldness accentuated your look.but this is not true for most of us.that's why we are here.

I like the buzzed look too. It Iooks much better than long thinning hair.

My only problem with saying, I am going bald so I will just let it progress and shave it is that going bald is so final...that is the last hair style you will or can ever have.

More discussion seems to be happening in https://www.hairlosstalk.com/intera...-no-pics-some-surprising-observations.115232/ in case people are interested.

@TheZyzz are you one of the last two guys you posted? The other ones are bald So I'm not sure what the point of that is. If one of the last two is supposed to look much better than the other, I'm not sure which one that would be. The one with long hair looks like he might be more dolicephalic.

By the way, I don't think it's Tom Cruise's actual bald head. It's a cap (bigger and rounder). I saw another "bald" photo of him (probably fake). He looked great "bald".

... People here may disagree, but I feel like he looks better bald here than with hair:

It's narrower and has a tip, compared to the above pic. (So, photoshop vs bald cap)
